Maximizing Opportunities. Managing Risk PAGE 5 ISM 2014 International Supply Management Conference PAGE 6 Program Department Hello N.A.P.M – OKC members! How time flies when you are having fun! We are already in the month of March!! Where did February go?? For those of you who did not make it to the February meeting – the Programs de- partment changed it up a bit (coincidently our speaker topic was Change Man- agement). We had round tables and broke out into smaller groups and had discussions re- garding challenges around change and potential ways to improve! This is very different from our normal set-up at meetings and we appreciate everyone being very patient and working with us through the process. If we have not had a chance to visit with you, please introduce yourself to us at the next meeting and let us know what topics are of interest to you and what you would like to see in upcoming meetings! We would love to hear from you! Our speaker for February was Larry Holdge who is the GM of Cimarron – a divi- sion of Curtiss Wright group. His background was in a variety of different com- panies ranging from Delta Faucets, GE Artificial Lift to Cimarron. He had some great personal examples and stories to share and considering his breadth of ex- perience they were certainly all very unique! Larry brought up some great points which were also echoed by our break out groups – change is less about the process – more about people, their perceptions and COMMUNICATION! Some reading material that was recommended to help us understand change man- agement better was Abraham Maslow – The Hierarchy of Needs Theory Aubrey Daniels – Performance Management THE PURCHASING PIPELINE Supply Management.

Managing Risk PAGE 9 Map to Whiskey Cake THE PURCHASING PIPELINE PAGE 10 Raising Expectations Maximize the creative potential of the supply management team by embedding a dynamic culture of innovative thinking. Innovative thinking is all about identifying new ideas and solutions to problems — the process of originating and producing something that will add value but does not yet exist. Increasingly, supply management is being called on by company executives across businesses and industries to contribute new value to the organization. How can we positively encourage our supply management organizations to dedicate some of their time and resources to thinking innovatively while remaining focused on day-to-day objectives? While there is no one approach that will work in every possible situation, there are several key components that lend themselves to driving this type of thinking within the organization.
